I downloaded the source code for 4.02 and am looking for the key combination code that is CTRL+Backspace taking the last word from the command history and putting it into the command window. I just want to remove it, because I, being a programmer at work, use CTRL+Backspace ALL the time, and sometimes, I'll be playing and need to restart a whole sentence, hitting CTRL+Backspace a lot of times, only to remember what CTRL+Backspace does in MUSHClient.

I was going to suggest adding an option for the way CTRL+Backspace works in Global Preferences or something, but I figured I could just remove it myself.

I'll be sifting through the code to find it, but if one of you knows exactly where it is and can tell me, I'd appreciate it.

Have some examples of apps that use Ctrl-Backspace to remove the last word? I never heard of this before (although it does kinda make sense given the effect of Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right. Amusing detail though: in MUSHclient, Ctrl-Delete seems to delete everything on the same line after the cursor.

Reason I ask is that Notepad does not have your Ctrl-Backspace functionality, which means it isn't a 'standard' Windows effect. Although it would seem Opera does have this effect as I just tried it out here.

All in all, I'm not opposed at all to making this change to be the default. The old behaviour makes very little practical sense to me personally.

He's referring to the way I described it. For instance, if you go to reply to this thread, and type a few words in the message box, then hit CTRL+Backspace, it deletes the word directly behind your cursor. He was practically hoping that something had been implemented for the user to toggle between the two implementations. Keep your implementation, but allow the user to switch it to the "normal" CTRL+Backspace functionality.
